Grand Solmar Timeshare Alerts Travelers to Common Scams

Grand Solmar Timeshare is aware that there are con artists out there who specifically target individuals on vacation. When people take vacations, they tend to relax and let their guard down, after all, that is the point of taking a vacation. Unfortunately, there exist individuals who are more than eager to exploit that carefree attitude for their own personal profit. The following information is designed to keep travelers alert and secure while they take their 2015 vacations.

Grand Solmar Timeshare warns travelers never to provide financial information over the phone unless they are 100% certain they are talking to a verified resort employee. Most businesses will never call a person and immediately demand financial information for any reason. These types of calls are usually conducted by scam artists posing as a company employee at a credit card company, for example. If a person finds them self the target of these telephone attacks, they should report the number to the business that the con artist was posing as. Again, Grand Solmar Timeshare emphasizes vacation planners to never give out financial information over the telephone. Credit card companies will simply place a fraud protection on a card and NEVER call a client, and then the client must call In to lift the fraud protection.

Grand Solmar Timeshare also points out that travelers should be very aware during outdoor activities, such as street shows or festivals. Sometimes thieves work in groups, and while a couple put on a street show to draw in a crowd, others will wander through the crowd and pickpocket the distracted onlookers, and this is very common in Europe. Decrease the chance of being targeted by a pickpocket by wearing little to no jewelry and keeping purses gripped firmly in front at all time. Grand Solmar Timeshare also urges men to keep wallets in their front pockets, as opposed to their back pockets, making it near impossible for thieves to slip away with the wallet. Also, never leave items unattended, ever. Take purses, laptops, and briefcases to the restroom if traveling alone, and never leave luggage unattended.

By following these basic travel safety tips, Grand Solmar Timeshare knows that travelers will be much safer when enjoying their vacations at world class resorts, like Grand Solmar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
